"A lot of organizations are jumping in, doing online content, getting PPP loans, getting extra gifts," he says. "There's a sense of energy and commitment, which is great. But I think the real challenge is yet to come: the next phase, when we're allowed back into our offices and not allowed to produce." Now you're in this long slog, without ticket sales. That is going to be the really hard time. And it's one of the reasons I caution against spending too much money on the online stuff right now." … [Read more...] about Arts groups in distress call on a former Kennedy Center president for help

As for modern herbivores, just about every vegan in Mexico City will tell you that they’ve eaten at Gatorta, a street food stall in Roma Norte specializing in tortas, Mexico’s humble and tasty sandwiches. The addictive sandwiches attract a mostly local crowd, willing to stand in long lines for fluffy baguettes piled high with milanesa (seitan steak) and soyita pibil, a vegan take on the traditional Yucatan dish cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted pork dish marinated with orange juice and achiote (annatto). Grab a seat at the stall and watch seitan and soy be flipped, chopped, and fried the same way that meat is at thousands of street stalls across the city. The sandwiches are phenomenal and filling but save room for the vegan tiramisu and donuts! … [Read more...] about Mexico City Is a Vegan Dream, From Gold Taco to Por Siempre Vegano

(Laughs) Not really, no. Like I said, I was fascinated by the idea of what was going on around that time in Wales—that there were two big strands going. On the one hand, you had this Welsh religious revival going on, where things were happening in chapels across Wales that were unexplainable, and thousands of people were coming to these happenings.

Elgin, IL (May 21, 2020) –Finding ways to connect—when we are required to remain separate—is challenging. Since 1976, Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra (EYSO) has been a place of connection and belonging for hundreds of young people. EYSO families deeply value the sense of community, making coming together and forging ahead even more important. In March, EYSO suspended in-person rehearsals (in line with Gov. Pritkzer's "stay at home order"), then pivoted to distance learning via what they called Zoomhearsals(rehearsals using Zoom video conferencing) without missing a single Sunday afternoon of scheduled activity. More recently, the May 10th season finale concert, Folklórico,was presented in an online format. Conductors, coaches and students worked enthusiastically and passionately toward this reimagined virtual performance which can be experienced at eyso.org/concert. … [Read more...] about New Campaign Lets Supporters Share Stories and Donations Online

Murray: It's OK for kids to be on their devices if they're still using it for things that are beneficial to them. So like taking them outside and having them do workout videos or something. I highly recommend the Cosmic Kids Yoga. That's awesome. They base a lot of it off movies, like they have a "Trolls" one. They have "Star Wars," "Minecraft." And any time you can combine something that they like with something that they don't like, and you can, like, mash it together a little bit, they want to do it. … [Read more...] about Avoiding a bummer summer: Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s coronavirus podcast for May 29
